Land Development
5.     Probable Solution S2.2 of the Detached House Code states:
       S2.2 Enclosed car parking and manoeuvring areas are constructed at a level that permits the
       parking area to drain from the site by gravity means, without the need for mechanical
       pumping.
       The proposed plans indicate the use of pumps to drain the basement area. Probable Solution
       S2.2 does not support the use of pumps; therefore, please revise the hydraulic design to
       demonstrate that all drainage can occur in accordance with the provisions of the Detached
       House Code.
6.     Council requires roof runoff and the rainwater tank overflow to discharge to the Council’s
       stormwater drainage system. It is considered that the stormwater runoff from the development
       can be addressed without the need for mechanical features (i.e. pumps) by a combination of
       on-site infiltration, charged lines and gravity. Please provide a revised stormwater plan that
       does not include mechanical features. The revised stormwater plan design must also
       demonstrate that the basement car park will not flood in a Q100 rainfall event.
7.     Land development officers are concerned that insufficient information has been provided to
       ensure appropriate driveway grades. In this regard, please provide, to scale, a cross section of
       the driveway that demonstrates grade changes from the centreline of the street to (and
       including) the basement.
Under the provisions of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, you have three options available in
response to this Information Request. You may give the assessment manager (in this instance
Council) and each referral agency (if any):
1.     all of the information requested; or
2.     part of the information requested together with a letter asking the assessment manager and
       each referral agency to proceed with the assessment of the application; or
3.     a letter:
       (i)    stating that you do not intend to supply any of the information requested; and

       (ii)   asking the assessment manager and each referral agency to proceed with the
              assessment of the application.

Please be aware that under Section 3.2.12 of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, the applicant is to
respond to any information request within 12 months of the request or otherwise, the application
lapses.
A response to the above is required to be submitted, prior to further assessment of the application. If
any further matters arise as part of assessment of this application, you will be advised accordingly.

Council prefers that all the information requested be submitted as one package. A preliminary
assessment only of the application has been undertaken and during the formal decision stage, or as
a result of public exhibition, other matters may arise. You are requested to advise your client directly
regarding this request.
